Mustt Mustt

Amazon.com
The late, great Pakistani Qawwali singer's first collaboration with producer/guitarist Michael Brook took the passionate, gymnastic tenor out of tradition and into trip-hop nation. Recorded at Peter Gabriel's expansive Real World Studios, the album combines ethnic percussion, programmed beats (some by Gabriel himself), Brook's atmospheric and infinite guitar swells, and loop-based motifs with Khan's complex, ornamented vocal delivery and devotional lyrics. On the later Night Song, Brook and Khan perfected their cross-cultural dialogue, though Mustt, with its fiery vocal runs and funky, ethereal production, has become an important touchstone in the ethno-techno movement that includes Transglobal Underground and Loop Guru. --James Rotondi

The best album to come out of the east..........2007-01-26

Fulfilling and wonderfully artistic. will be playing at my b&b at the entrance sound... here at the wonderful black sand beach in hawaii...it is worth buying... peace

I don't know much about Qawaali art..........2005-07-13

i recommend this album for one reason: the song "Nothing Without You" is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard

it's hard to tell from the brief sample here on Amazon... but the song is pure beauty

i first heard this song (Nothing Without You) on the local Pacifica radio station some years ago... the sound engineer played it between shows... i was so enthralled by it, i immediately called up the station and asked the engineer what he was playing... i wrote it down and at first opportunity sought it out... i was lucky to find the album at my local Tower records (or did i have to special order it? i can't remember... this was pre-internet)

this is one of the songs that sometimes brings tears to my eyes just from its sheer beauty

(some others: Madame George by Van Morrison, Das Lied von die Erde by Mahler, Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers... for comparison, in case you wonder what moves my groove)

your mileage may vary... art, afterall, is a matter of taste...
but... this is a profane song, it's a profane album -- Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan usually sings sacred music... i personally think this is the closest a love song ever comes to rivalling the most sacred of sacred songs, irrespective of religion or belief system... from this one song alone, i consider him to be a holy man

Nusrat Fans (both Old & New) Must, Must own this album............2005-07-01

Arguably, one of a handful of musicians from the world music province, that was able to successfully remain a huge star in his nativehome land (Pakistan), and make the successful transition over to the west, and still retain complete credibility and artistic excellence, after having worked on various western musician collaborations, and having his work remixed. (especially the stunning 'Massive Attack' remix of "Mustt Mustt").

A truly exceptional vocalist, who's vocal talents are a combination of Organic, passionate, spiritual, vocal gymnastics, that are at the same time exuberantly confident, yet passionately arousing. As this is the voice of a classically-trained vocalist, that is both grand and sweeping , with a level of grandeur and yearning, that earmarked him as one of the finest vocalists of his generation. Forget the fact that for the vast majority of western ears, the lyrics will all but be impenetrable. What Nusrat does virtually better than most, is convey the feeling of emotion through harmonies, soaring choruses, by which, his complete and utter conviction of his enormous voice, which is one minute husky and trenchant, and as powerful as the most emotive of singers, and then on the next as serene and soulful as any legendary Jazz/ Soul singer you care to mention, is extremely impressive. But even more impressive is the fact that Nusrat is able to emotionally connect with the listener, when there are obviously language barriers, and the sheer euphoric and celebratory tone of some songs, transcend the language difficulties and arguably have nearly as much (if not just as much as) impact, as if he was singing in our own native tongue.

But to not mention the musicianship powering this record, would be as much of a misstep as not highlighting the brilliance of Nusrat's vocal contributions, and although the arrangements may seem slightly restrained or unusually considered in comparison to some of the more beat-heavy world music/Worldbeats artists out there, this is so that ample space is given to Nusrat, to perfrom the sort of soaring vocal gymnastics, for which he is renowned for. Tablas rhythmically complement the music, along with the use of various plucked strings, acoustic guitar, and mandolin, and Just as the musicians mantra-like repetition of the whirling motion deepens the trace of the music, Nusrat himself is able to skillfully intergrate his vocals with his musicians, The mood here is one that passionately encourages meditation, through the use of dancing and chanting. With the almost party atmosphere enhanced, by appearing in a virtually classic form, with tablas and harmonium establishing the harmony and rhythm, male singers swelling around Nusrat's central vocal and using hand claps to drive the tempo, it's jaw-dropping stuff for sure, and although Nusrat is arguably the star of the show here, it's the tremendous support, for his musicians that elevate this performance into 'stunning' territory.

If your new to the delights of Nusrat, and have yet to make a purchase of one of his studio albums, most people (will quite rightly) point you in the direction of this studio album. As to whether it's the best thing he's put his name to, isn't entirely clear, but what is beyond doubt, is that this is the perfect starting point for anyone deciding to enter into his music. Its has the accessibility for newcomers, (along with the "Massive Attack" remix of Mustt Mustt, tagged onto the end of the album), as well as the possibility that some of his best known songs are here (increasing the possibility of you knowing a track or two), and enough distingushed performances all round, to...if not become his best album, certainly ranks alongside his best work. And for anyone else that has a Nusrat album or two and DOESN'T have this in their collection already, well.....your next purchase is right here!!!!

Hypnotic beats - entancing treats!!.......2003-12-09

An excellent collection of some of Nuzzy's finest stuff.I first heard Nuzzy when I worked in an Indian deli,but didnt think too much about it.I was made curious of his work when i saw that massive attack were fans and remixed some of his stuff.I have a few of his albums and not one of them fails to capture the power and hypnotic effect of his music.Muust Muust is certainly worth a look for anyone with an interest in world music and massive attack's remix doesn't play around too much with it,just adds a liitle more to the backround beats, excellent.

I am not an officionado of Indian music, but I love this!.......2003-07-22

I may be "bipolar" in my musical tastes. When I need to pull my bootstraps up and keep on going up and away from any sad or black mood, I often choose this CD, (or Zakir Hussien).

Indian music(for that matter, all Middle Eastern music) is very affirmative music.Not only in the feeling of the vocals but in the beats.
I know this is not a very "intelligent" sounding review, because I don't know all the terms and history..but the point is ..you dont have to. It's just totally positive and enjoyable whether it's "authentic" or not.
